At 135 years old, the Darjeeling Himalaya Railway is one of the world’s oldest mountain railways and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Only 610mm wide, it’s known as the "Toy Train" and ever since the film The Darjeeling Limited, its popularity has rocketed. Running through tiny Himalayan villages, past local fruit stalls and houses close enough to touch, the train winds its way across breath taking mountain landscapes.

The Trans-Siberian Railway
Connecting an impressive array of landscapes, cultures and people together, the Trans-Siberian Railway stretches through snowy forests and sunny lands, the Gobi Desert and the Great Wall. With 9288km and 400 stations between Moscow and Vladivostok, the Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest in the world. The average speed is only about 90km/h and so it’s not one for if you’re in a hurry, but simply for sitting back, relaxing and taking in the epic landscapes.
